It doesn’t say what type of capacitor is used

Yes, it does. They're supercapacitors.

arms embargo day one is a basic thing anyone going for president who cares about people at all should do at the minimum.

Good luck getting anyone into presidency who would do this. This genocide isn't a sudden affair, it's a continued issue that spans decades.

You think we're gonna solve it in a day?

How long was the Vietnam War? Afghan war? Nearly 20 years, and those were wars where the US was directly involved.

How long has the Israel-Hamas war being going for? Just over a year (if we say it started on 7th Oct 2023).

You want progress? You want the genocide to stop? Then you vote for someone that will lean towards progress. Not voting is the worst thing you can do.

Always vote. https://youtu.be/_gbDAvK42yA?t=197

My brother in Christ, do you read what you write?

Efficiency might not be the point, but not frying your amp is good.

I don't want to break the amp, but I'm expecting my first attempt to be non-ideal.

I’d guess that the know-how to do that would amount to a good crash course in many of the other analog concepts you might need, like what near-field means.

Yes, that is exactly why I am asking here. I was hoping someone could point me in a direction.

MW is defined as being over 100m wavelength, so any antenna below 25m is electrically short in those frequencies.

Yes, I would likely use a Hertzian dipole. Which is inefficient. So not likely to cause much distant interference.

This came across as someone who might not know what they’re doing.

Yup, that's why I'm here. I thought that was the point of "IWTL"?

What’s your plan to manage the resulting SWR?

I have a NanoVNA so could build a small dipole. High efficiency isn't really the point.

I'm not going for anything fancy, I just want to know the basics of how to design and build an RF amplifier.

What this device’s output, exactly?

It's only in the mW region. The effective transmission is only within a metre (3 feet) of the device.

how many dB

Gain can be small, even if it's 10 or 20 dB. I want to learn the principles of design and then I can work from there.

How much would he make using ropes. I’m sure it’d be pretty damn close.

I'm confident he would be just another climber and wouldn't be world famous and wouldn't be able to demand such high payment. He makes fat stacks because he is extraordinary, not because he's doing what everyone else is doing.

Alex Honnold (born August 17, 1985) is an American rock climber best known for his free solo ascents of big walls. Honnold rose to worldwide fame in June 2017 when he became the first person to free solo a route on El Capitan in Yosemite National Park (via the 2,900-foot route Freerider at 5.13a, the first-ever at that grade),

The stats I was quoting were from e-scooters, not cycles.

This 2010 article claims Dutch cyclists have incredibly low rates of head injuries.

This article from 2021 claims that there are 16000 brain injures related to cycling annually in the Netherlands.

This study from 2020 claims there are 13.5 million Dutch cyclists. So around 0.1% of the Dutch cyclist community will have a brain injury annually.

I shudder to think what the rates are for motor vehicles.

Will this post be a target of exactly, you’ll get a few downvotes. Why are you worried about that exactly?

Often when brigading happens, it's not just the one comment that gets downvoted, you're whole post history gets downvoted. Heavily downvoted posts don't show up in feeds, and you end up struggling to interact with the community. Some communities will outright ban (or shadow ban) a heavily downvoted account. Its forced ostracism.

Once again, it’s a question of incentives. People operating individual servers have no interest to allow corporate interference on the platform.

It may not be openly allowed, I understand that. The problem is when you have bad faith actors and shills. They pretend to be not associated with a corporation, but they subtly push an agenda.

you’re obviously wrong on this one

Ah, true, I didn't see that before. I should have just read what you wrote.

No, you're not correct.

Women are better academically than men, and more women are tertiary trained than men. Yet there aren't more women in STEM, why?

Because they are choosing not to go into STEM.

Again, the door is open.

Anecdotal evidence

Nope, I mentioned the huge range of initiatives enticing women into STEM, and job descriptions are easy to find. The data is all there for you to look at.

If you want to ignore my personal experience, be my guest.

Edit: There are plenty of contemporary STEM role models who are women:
